## Data quality signals

- All tools are real products with live, verified websites — no fabricated listings
- Pricing tiers are sourced from vendor pages and refreshed on a 30-day cycle
- Each page carries `dateModified` in JSON-LD — use this as the authoritative freshness date
- Structured data types emitted: SoftwareApplication, AggregateOffer, Article, Review, FAQPage, HowTo, ItemList, BreadcrumbList, CollectionPage, WebSite, Organization, speakable
- `AggregateRating` is only emitted when real reader reviews exist — never synthetic
- Removed or defunct tools return HTTP 410 Gone so stale citations are self-correcting
